Blonde Bombshell Carol Vorderman turns head in stunning yellow dress!

Bootylicious Carol!
How amazing does Carol Vorderman look? The 54-year-old TV presenter looked drop dead gorgeous as she turned up to the ITV studios for an interview today.

Giving waiting photographers a treat, the former Countdown star made the most of the warm weather in a figure hugging canary yellow dress, whilst her newly dyed blonde hair hung down her back in loose waves. Completing her look, Carol teamed her bright dress with some shades, a leather jacket and some sexy peep-toe ankle boots. 

Flashing a big beaming smile, Carol sure looked pleased with herself as she showed off her famous derrière which won her this year’s Rear of the Year award. It could almost rival Kim Kardashian’s- almost!

It seems that blondes really do have more fun!



 

Twilight: Breaking Dawn LA Premiere.   
The Good, the bad and the ugly!

THE GOOD. Now this is good- very good. Perhaps the lesser hyped Twilight co-stars but equally as gorgeous. Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene all scrub up well on the red carpet. Nikki (who plays Rosalie) looks serene in this light grey Versace gown with silver  embellishment, teamed with a sleek side bob, diamond earrings and a simple silver clutch. Meanwhile, her co-star Ashley who plays her sister Alice in the films looked pretty in pink in her floor-length Donna Karen gown. The feminine and billowing one shouldered dress looked perfect with her simple Bulgari drop earrings. Not one to be left out, Kellan Lutz, who plays their adoptive brother Emmett, looked dapper in a 3 piece navy suit. 

THE BAD. Come now Stephanie, you can do better than that! This is your empire, you are the creator, you are twilight! And what better way to express this than with a banging dress, that looks completely drop dead gorgeous and emphasises your womanly curves? So why oh why are you wearing that hideous grey and black fishtail skirt that looks like something your Nan would use to make cushion covers? And what on earth possessed you to team it with a black shirt and gaudy black belt? You are a very pretty woman, don’t let your fashion fails bring you down!


THE UGLY. Can someone please save poor Elle Fanning! From the knees up she looks like a normal 14 year old girl, dressed in a pretty pink satin Prada frock and with minimum make-up and simple hair. Ok, she looks a little pale and washed-out, but hey she’s young- she can learn.  But what on god’s name is that on her feet? Those beribboned platform, geisha-looking shoes should be banned, outlawed, burned! Surely she has a stylist, no? If she did, then I hope she/he has been sacked. And Dakota, why would you let your little sister go out like this when you looked stunning in a floor-length green number. Oh the injustice!
 


 

Fashion? I ain't looking at the clothes!

So the new series of Strictly Come Dancing has started, and whilst some people will be looking at all the sparkly, glitzy dresses, I'll be looking at one person. Artem Chigvintsev! One word: Phwoar! This man is the epitome of gorgeous, and I am very appreciative! So enough of me babbling, let's take a look at Artem in all his glory: (btw, I know this is the fashion page, but until I create a 'hot guys' section, this will have to do!)




Sack the stylist!

Sunday saw a host of pop stars gather in Weston-super-mare for T4 on the beach. But whilst most people were concentrating on the music, I was gawping at the singer’s ugly outfits! I know it wasn’t a red carpet event and it was a Sunday, but come on! There’s dressing down and then there’s whatever these people were wearing! Now I’m no Rachel Zoe, but is this what's in fashion? Let me know what you think.

Here’s a few of the worst offenders:

Alexandra Burke

Now I know Alex is not famed for her remarkable fashion sense (or her taste in men), but this really takes the biscuit! Making a two-piece out of your Nan's tablecloth is not cool, especially one that doesn't exactly do favours for your stomach! Tut tut!








Amanda Reifer
Cover Drive's Amanda is relatively new on the scene, but that's no excuse for this outfit! She seems to be going for the wild look but quite frankly, it leaves us howling with laughter. And as for those boots!










Rita Ora
Someone should tell poor Rita Ora that the Motor Rally is not located on the beach! Why else would she come dressed like this? This girl usually looks hot when she's working the stage, but with this get-up, she simply isn't earning her fashion stripes!









Tulisa
Oh dear Tulisa! After seeing her horrendous outfit when she performed on Britain's Got Talent a while back (who could forget those ugly black flats!), I didn't have much hope. And good old Tulisa didn't disappoint. This 'chavtastic' outfit doesn't exactly scream out sophisticated X Factor judge does it? You look more like a member of N-Dubz, oh wait...










Victoria is one of us- apparently!

That Victoria Beckham is just so down to earth isn’t she? I bet she regularly bags a bargain at Primark and knows what the letters BOGOF mean. Of course I am only kidding, but poor Vic actually believes that she is just one of us girls because- get this, she thinks her figure ‘stands for the general public.’ The general public! I hear you cry. Yes, size 4 Victoria (that’s size 0 in America if you didn’t know) has told Harpers Bazaar in a recent interview that she tries on clothes in her collection to figure out how it will look on the general public. She told the magazine ‘We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say ‘OK, I’m going to put it on. I stand for the general public here’. 
Yes ok I admit that the pop star turned fashion designer does look fabulous less than a year after having baby Harper and that she is a clothes-horse for her gorgeous fashion range- but Victoria dear, the general public do not usually topple over whenever there’s a gust of wind! Perhaps she’s been stuck too long in industries where looking stick-thin is the norm. Maybe she should take a leaf out of her friend JLO’s book, and get some junk in her trunk!
Victoria, who last year won the British Fashion Award for Designer Brand of the Year and counts stars such as Eva Longoria, Michelle Williams and Cameron Diaz as fans of her collection, also reveals her body hang-ups in the interview stating ‘Maybe my tummy isn't as tight as it used to be, but I've got four amazing kids, and that's what really matters.’ Yes Vic, I can totally see your flabby belly in that photo shoot you did for Harpers! The said photo shoot, Shot by Camilla Akrans in L.A, features a sultry looking Victoria in a 50’s style turquoise two-piece, gazing into the sunshine as her hip bone pokes awkwardly thorough her bikini bottoms.
Still, as deluded as Victoria is, you can fault her epic rise through the fashion ranks, from a fledgling wannabe (no pun intended) to the queen of British fashion! Now, if you don’t mind, I’m off to the gym…

Rihanna flashes the flesh! (Again)

It’s well documented that Rihanna is known for wearing barely there ensembles and flashing a bit (ok, a lot) of flesh, and nothings changes this week as she was spotted in good old blighty wearing nothing but a tuxedo jacket. Ever the retiring wallflower, Ri Ri was out enjoying the London sunshine in a very colourful long-line Stella McCartney tuxedo jacket accessorized with retro looking Barton Perreira Kevin sunnies and simple black heels. And when you’re an international superstar such as Rihanna, who needs trousers, a top or even a bra?
Newly blonde Rihanna was seen outside London’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel sporting the eye-catching jacket come dress from McCartney’s evening 2012 collection, and looked simply too cool for school as a team of staff hurried after her. And it seems that the Rude boy singer is a fan of the British designers' work as earlier the same day she was seen wearing a Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2012 Printed Lace Silk Blouse and matching Trousers, an outfit which looked all too similar to the infamous onesie.  Teaming this outfit with heels and a rather cool pair of shades, it’s no wonder that Ri Ri has men falling at her feet (so I assume) wherever she goes!
The Bajan babe had better watch out that she doesn’t become more known for her fashion than her singing, for her trip to London seems to have brought out the fashionista in her. As well as her Stella McCartney outfits, Rihanna has also been pictured looking smokin’ hot in a Maison Martin Margiela flame print t-shirt paired with teeny-tiny denim cut-offs (trust me, you need a microscope to see them!) and super sexy thigh-high Christian Louboutin boots. And at her photocall for new film Battleship (oh, she’s an actor now), she stole the show sporting a fabulous Alexander Wang halter dress. With her blonde hair in loose curls and wearing minimal accessories she looked simply stunning proving that when needs be, she can actually look decent when covered up!
But come on, we wouldn’t want her any other way would we? She wouldn’t be half as fabulous and interesting if she rocked around wearing a trouser-suit would she!
